Lucy Lawless Gives "Xena" Movie Update
2/9/12

Is there any chance we'll see some kind of "Xena" reunion or movie?

That would have been really fun ... The whole trouble with it was there was some sort of glitch in the paperwork in ownership. The movie company doesn't own all the rights to it and they don't want to share, so -- it's just kind of gone sour for all these years.

I shouldn't say they don't want to share, but there's not enough in it for them if they have to share the rights with somebody else. By the time somebody realizes it's a completely wasted franchise and they should reinvigorate it, I'm too old to play her.

You recently said that you hated the fighting on "Xena". You really don't miss that at all?

Not a bit. Not a bit. Never, never liked it.

I just sucked it up and went on with it all those years on "Xena", but I was so happy to let that go and just eat figs and wear frocks. [Laughs]

I'm sure you've had a lot of fan experiences. Do you have one that really sticks out?

I had a really great experience the other day. They had the last ever "Xena" con and I was like, "I have to go. If I'm in LA, I should stay on a few extra days and just go and thank the fans from all those years ago for being so loyal." They're such an interesting bunch of people. They've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity. They're amazing.

So ... I went along and Bill Shatner was there and he was doing a documentary on the "Xena" fans and what a phenomenon they are ... It was very cool to have Captain Kirk kind of interviewing me about the fans because they are the focus ...

And, for the first time in years -- maybe the first time ever -- I did photo-ops and ... there was so much love coming back at me from these people. It wasn't that I felt good about myself, it was that they had filled me with their kindness.

It was a very odd experience. It was a real gift and I'm glad I did it.

Now that many people think Xena is in the cobweb of classic stories, and this may generate some scuttlebutt of a new, Xena movie, the cast can play their characters 15 years older. A BIG hole exist in the story's lore: What happened after the series finale and how did Ares get potted in that cave, for "The Xena Scrolls" episode?

Any other hooks to a contemporary story? More than one repository of Xena Scrolls? Should they be called The Gabrielle Scrolls?
